Such were the cries that greeted the
ears of Il reporter as he passed the door Of
a Cadillac square saloon and caused him
to tuIn back and enter. 1t was curious
sight that met his eyes. On the floor
were drawn two concentric circles with
chalk, one six, the other about twelve feet
in diameter. Within the inner circle
stopped two men who held each q teacup,
bottom upward, on the floor, their rims
in contact and as near the middle of the
circle Us possible. Between the inner and
outer circle stood q flashily dressed man
with an open watch in his hand and with
out the outer circle were eighteen or
twenty excited spectators.
'Are you ready2" asked the man with
the watch.
"We are" answered they Of the cups.
"One, two, three, go!" said the time
keeper
The two men in the inner circle stimuli
taneously raised the cups and stepped be-
yond the line, revealing two cockroaches,
one considerably larger than the other.
The bugs seemed at first to be thoroughly
confused, running about in circles and
darting first in one direction and then in
another. Suddenly, however, the smaller
roach took bee line toward the bar and
crossed the chalk line while the other in
sect was still seeking its bearings. The
greatest confusion prevailed, as each
trainer deity covered his roach with n
cup and secured it, the captor of the
smaller one exclaiming:

Isabella's Bad Investment.

An Atchison man has made
curious calculation illustrating the
wonders of compound interest. Ii
is said that Queen Isabella, OF Spain
spent SS75, 100 in fitting out Colum.
bus for his voyage of discovery.
This was in 1892, and the Atchison
man says that the interest on this
amount at S per cent. compounded
annually, amounts to more at this
time than the total value OF the Unl-
ted States. In other words, had
Queen Isabella invested IN 9 pei
cent. bonds the amount necessary to
discover America, the present value
of the bonds would be greater thar
the continent discovered by Colum =
bus.-Atchison Globe.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
Brief, But to the Point-lsailroad Leg
islation Imperatively Needed.

The message OF the Governor as
sent to the Legislature at noon to
day was as follows:
STATE OF Missouri, EXECUTIVE
DEPARTMENT, CITY OF JEFFERSON,
May, ISS7-Gentlemen OF the Gen
eral Assembly: A little less than
twelve years ago the people OF this
State, by popular vote, adopted a
written constitution in which are
stated IN strong and clear language
those principles which should guide
and control the general assembly IN
its enactment OF laws affecting rail
roads as public highways and rail-
way companies as common carriers.
The provisions of that instrument
not only determine some things that
the general assembly should not do
IN this regard, but they as clearly
and with more emphasis declare
some things 1t should do.
There is no reason to believe the
people have ever been disposed to
revoke the demands therein express
ed, on the contrary, it is we'll known
that they to-day are more unanimous
and more earnest in such demands
than they were twelve years ago.
No good could come from a dis
cussion by me of why such demands
have not heretofore been met by the
representatives of the people. 1t IS
sufficient for us to know that the
condition of affairs which led TO such
demands still exists, that the people
have the right to make such demands
and that as a matter of fact they do
make them.
What these demands are, which |
think most urgently call for action
by you, | have recently stated to YOU
gentlemen IN nv biennial message.
= That the problems involved in the
inquiry, How best to meet these
demands.' are difficult of solution
is good reason why the very bes
powers you have should be engaged
;. in the work, but it is no reason wh,
the solution should be longer de-
Iayed.
% That the properties involved o
affected are of very great magnitude
D. and of large vulue to our people
at good reason why the greatest eau
10 90 ton should be observed that no in
D. jury is done to them; but it IS be,
70 ter reason why such laws should b
. enacted as will make these proper
ties of the greatest possible value I
IL the people, which they are not nov
y and will not become under the pre-
ng ent laws.
err Just SIX months ago the peopl
your constituents, said by their vo
,e' that they believed you were wllllr
- and able to meet their demands. /
calling you thus together to consid
these questions | have in the me
conclusive manner expressed r
., opinion of the importance of t
questions and my faith in your alb
- tv to enact the proper Legislation.
The opportunity for enactlng su
legislation is thus placed before VIC
the duty and labor is yours and vo

John Mckown was interviewed with
reference to the assertion that his uncle.

he is not afraid of the graves being

only afraid OF it being robbed by man

| Laborn Warren says, he, after hearing
OF the communication in the TIMES,
went and inspected the burying ground
OF his relatives, and there is not a grave
disturbed, and the parties debating O,
writing such disgracetul stories, should
be made to sign lie bill, and as to the

ton and Peter Haltord, there is no,
aword OF truth in the assertion. There
may be two or three individuals in the
vicinity, or connected with it, that never
had friend or neigbbor wherever they
lived, that suspects them-as such men
are suspicious of the whole human fami
ly. We suppose either OF the gentlemen
would acquaint the officious party OF

they had been asked, rather than hav,
